THE LEXINGTON DISPATCH.

Wednesday, September 6,1905.
Our Virginia Letter.
I have delayed longer this time
than I should. Bat ibis has not
been from a want of interest in thiDg3
at home. I eagerly read the Dispatch
for county news, and the State for
newB of its kind. Am specially glad
to see letters from near my former
work. Sorry so many of my former
members have crossed over the river
to rest under the shade of the trees
How it will add to our crown of rejoicing
at that glad day if we can
number them as those we have pointed
to the Lamb of God tbat taketh
fho airt r>f the world. and bave
led to a higher and better lift! Glad
oar vacancies are beiDg filled.
This is Monday morning and one
of the finest I have ever seen ud here.
It has rained sll summer. Yesterday
was clear and bracing?in fact
cool in the shade. We had large
congregations morning and night.
My old classmate, now Eev. J. T.
Saddle, of Washington, D. C,
preached in the morning. Though
we graduated fourteen years ago, he
as the first classmate I have seen Bince
. Iieft college. He is a brilliant orator.
His old home is near here and he is
home on a vacation.
Our Synod has just closed its
I Tk roaf nnlv
ttUUUat UUUIOUUUU> ah uavv v?.j
\ seven miles from here. The country
sboat the church is high and hilly.
' I went with our delegate, Mr. John
W. Phillips. As it happened I took
along a heavy coat, and even then
could Bcsrcely keep warm. Mr. Julian
phoned home for his overcoat,
which he wore with comfort in the
middle of August. Dr. R. 0. Holland
came up from Charlotte, N. C,
and was in a shiver when he reached
the ehurch. The clouds finally broke
away, and it has been pleasant ever
since. There was no special brilliancy
at oar meeting. Don't think
it measured to the meetiBge of the
Boutb Carolina Synod. Met several
former friends: Rev. T. O. Kiester,
formerly of Prosperity, S. C., Rev.
W. H. Greever, of Colombia and
Rev. C. J. Sox, just recently from
Lexington connty. The latter was
ordained at this meeting, and I am
to sn\ over to his work in Flovd
~ - - county
to install him the third Sunday
in next month. ' Will have to go
on train 60 miles, and then drive in
stage and baggy about 35 miles further.
Since writing, I have spent a day
in a court room at' Wytheville, our
county seat. I had to go down and
' appear before court to get license or
permission or something in order to
perform marriage. You must do this
up here, and give a bond of $500
too, that you will comply with the
laws of the State on marriage.
Polities are warm up here, even if
? the weather is not. The people are
almost evenly divided. This is true
even in our church. Dr. W. W.
Backbone of our nearest neighbors,
members and best friends, is Democratic
candidate for the Legislature
and we hope and believe he will be
elected. Kind wishes to all.
S. C. Ballentine.

Deafness Cannot lie Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
TTm-r-o is nnlv one xcn.v to rvnre deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed* condition
of the mucous lining of the
Eustachain Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, wliich is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)~that
cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

Men Past Sisty in Danger.
More than half of mankind over sixty
years of age suffer from kidney and
bladder disorders, usually enlargement
of prostate gland. Tliis is both painful
and dangerous, and Foley's Kidney
Cure should be taken at the first sign of
danger, as it corrects irregularities and
has cured many old men of this disease,
Mr. Rodney Burnett, Rock Port, Mo,,
writes: "I suffered with enlarged prostate
gland and kidney trouble for years
and after taking two bottles of Foley's
Kidney Cure I feel better than I have
for twenty years, although I am now
91 years of age.'Obituary.
Samuel Smith, son of George and
Mary M. Smith, was born September
the 26 th, 1849, and died July the 5,
1905, at his heme on Pond Branch.
On the following day the remains
were interred at Pond Branch Methodist
church.
Born in a Christian home and
reared under Christian influences, he
imbibed that sweetness of spirit and
stamina of character that prepares
for usefulness and consistency in
service. He early united with the
Bethelem Evangelical Lutheran
church of the Black Creek section of
which he continued a consistent
member for many years after which
he moved his membership, together
with his family, to Pond Branch
meiuuuibii JupiHuupai VJUUJ/UJU, uuuwBrother
Smith was three times
married and was the father of ten
children, eight of whom are living.
He leaves a wife and many grandchildren
with his children to mourn
their lost.
"Mark the perfect man, and behold
the upright, for the end of that
man is peace."?Psalms 37:37.

Are You Engaged?
Engaged people should remember that
after -marriage many quarrels can be
avoided by keeping their digestions in
good condition with Electric Bitters. S.
A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S, C., says:
"For years my wife suffered intensely
from dyspepsia, complicated with a
torpid liver, until she lost her strength
and vigor, and became a mere v. ,-eck of
her former self. Then she tried Electric
Bitters, which helped her at once,
and finally made her entirely well. She
is now strong and healthy. The
Kaufmann Drug Co., druggist, sells and
guarantees them at 50c. a bottle.
A System That Defies Forgers.
Owing to the fact that the clever
crooks all over the country have been
acquiring much wealth by raising
money orders, the postal authorities
have adopted a new form of order
which is said to defy the forgers.
Toe amount will be punched in tne
order as is frequently done in bank
checks. As soon as the new forms
can be printed they will be distributed
among Uncle Sam's seventy odd
thousand postmasters.

ornamental as a diamond in a mud

There would be no such thing as a

Society people make as much fuss
about getting married as theatrical

Business Diplomacy as
Used by a Book Agent
THE book agent had managed to
gain an audience with the lady
of the house by sending up an in
nocent looting carci. ne no sooner ucgan
to state his business, however,
than the lady called to a servant and
said:
"James, show the gentleman the
door."
"Thank you, James," said the wily
agent in a kindly tone, "but it will be
unnecessary for you to trouble yourself.
I saw the door as I came in, and
I must say it .8 a handsome thing, indicating
a home of culture and refinement.
Now, madam," he continued,
turning to the lady, "as I was saying,
in order to introduce this grand work
we are offering a limited number of
copies to the leading society people of
the city at the special price ot*frily $10.
This is the first call I havt?^iade, as
your name heads the list."
Note?He got the $10.
A Word of Advice.
Biddlecomb was holding his eldest
son in earnest converse.
"My boy," he said, "I am filled with
anxiety when I think that you will
soon make choice of a wife."
"I have not done so yet, father," the
young man replied. "What sort of
wife would you suggest?"
The older man looked around cautiously.
"My son," he said, "if your father's
advice is worth anything to you, let
me urge you to seek a woman who
hasn't the independence, the positiveness,
the general characteristics of
your mother." He was interrupted at
that moment by a light footfall and
realized that his beloved helpmeet had
entered the room. "No. my son," he
continued, "do not hope to find another
woman like your mother. Such paragons
are rarely if ever duplicated."?

in the name of goodness it could have
